Well, it has been very busy for me these past 3 months. I have been having some health issue and battling some ongoing depression. If it seems that I have been ignoring you, I haven't. I have just been unable to cope with my shit and I have been secluding myself on purpose. I have been able to get better at coping. Here are some organized paragraphs sorting out a few updates on my life:

*WARNING: This journal has been typed up 3 times now, because FA kept trying to reconnect something on the page and it crashed the page erased my journal*

Health Issues:
Well, I suspect a part of my depression has been due to my health. After a breif cancer (Colon) scare, I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and Hypothyroidism. This was able to sum up why my health had been dwindling over the past year or so. I have made some major changes to my diet as well as the portion sizes in which I eat. (at my peak, I was able to eat 2 whole 18 inch pizzas in one sitting!) Let's just say that I am lucky that I did not die of a heart attack. I have had high blood pressure issues though. With my controlled and balanced diet, I have been feeling tons better, but I also have been losing some weight too. I was peaked at 244LB and I now weigh 226LB. I hope that this helps with my crappy mood and depression. My depression makes me drink more frequently alone and like a maniac socially (we don't talk about it), which as a result will upset my ulcers if overdone. Also, my Adderall does not always get along with my Synthroid. My next course of action is to start exercising. I am making it a huge priority to make myself healthy. My job as well as the career path that I am pursuing (business) need me to be at my "A" game. I cannot be at my "A" game when I am in bad health.


Work and School:
Work has been the same old same old. I do notice that I am getting more and more frustrated at everything that is going on. When you work in the moving industry, you get all kinds of people. For example, we have worked with some MLB and NHL players moving to and from the DC area and even political figures. What I am more frustrated with are the "Time-Wasters", the "Complainers" about everything and, dear god, the "Nit-Pickers". I know that this is something that will exist in any sales and customer service entity, but we are talking about selling services for the 3rd most stressful event in anyone's life, you will get some really shitty people. It is more annoying to have to use the same fucking sales pitch every time will drive you insane. Luckily, now I have additional items to do, such as Sales Analysis and various Sales Metric Reports. The more I think about, I need to get my ass up and get back into school. I am planning on getting back to it in Fall. I need to meet with my advisor, both for NOVA Community College and George Mason University so I can resume working on my degree. Let's hope that I actually do this.

FWA2015 Recap and other cons:
I had a blast. It is always great to meetup with good friends and even make new ones.
, and are just examples of the many that I have hung out with (too many to type, sorry!). I have some regrets, but for the most part, I am satisfied. The new hotel was beautiful. My only issues were with the elevators and the people using them. Even on non-peak times, people were going up to go down and vice-versa. This made it a huge issue for those who were, or tried to suit. I got so fed up with the lack of etiquette, I jumped out of the elevator on a random floor and dragged 2 random non-suiters off with me in order for 2 other suiters to get on. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DO THAT, PEOPLE!! I did not get to suiting a lot this con, mainly because of the elevators, but also because I left my underarmour in VA. Instead, I was able to visit and meet with some dealers in the dealers den, such as  rukis. I will say that I am appalled at level of crime that revolved around the con this year. For one, my condolences continue to go out to  Skyprofursuits for their unfortunate loss. I have also been hearing of fursuits, heads another parts being stolen from the Headless Lounge. To top it all off, My condolences also continue to go out to  Doryuu for losing his suit with TSA and Southwest. I had a blast and cannot wait until next year. I will try to get a higher floor next time, so that the elevator would not be such an issue. I found that 18-30 was the highest traffic level. My next con planned is FurTheMore which will be held in Tysons Corner, VA on May 29-31 2015. I mean, I am 4 miles away, so I can surely afford to check it out. I wanted to go to MegaPlex in July, but there is a long story there on why I can't. In short, I was screwed out of the time off. I did negotiate free vacation days for the entire duration of my FWA trip as a result, which is positive. Given my car situation (next item), i think it is actually a good thing to wait on another expensive con and build up more savings. It does suck that MP was my first con and this will be the first year since that I am going to miss it, but such as life.

FWA 2015 aftermath and post-con week :
One thing that I did do after FWA was re-open my social media dealing with furry stuff. I use FB and LinkedIn for RL stuff, but now, I have a twitter, just for furry stuff, with an after dark account coming soon. You can follow me @FantasticMrFolf. For those that follow me, you will know that I got into an accident the morning after I returned from FWA. I am fine, but what had happened was that an SUV must have put herself in reverse for some reason, then forgot. We were in bumper to bumper traffic on a congested exit ramp getting off the highway. As traffic moves up, she accelerates into my Saab. I pull to the side shoulder and so does she. She got out and looked at her car while, I was digging out my info. She asked me if I was alright, then after I respond and proceed to find my phone to take down her info. She gets back in her car and leaves. There were NO witnesses, or ones who would care enough to be one (that is Virginia for ya). I also had to wait 2 hours for a State Trooper to stop and meet with me to get a report for a Hit and Run. I was mad, but very appreciative for the AAA truck that waited 45 minutes for me to explain things to the officer. My Saab was declared a loss, because they said the bumper "needed" to be replaced. They cost 600-800 alone, so I can do without. I got the money and am choosing to take a little less and keep the car. I am getting a check that will get the radiator and AC condenser fixed, but then they leftover money can be used to fix the body. Nothing needs to be replace, but there are some things that can be aligned to make it looks decent. I have put enough of my time, money and labor into my Saab and i am NOT giving up on it. I know I am not the only one to say this, but my FWA post week has been awful. I have been on-edge, moody and stressed about everything. Work does not make it any easier. Let me put it this way, I helped my friends move last weekend and had a blast. You know you have had a bad week, when your antidote consists of actually moving your friends to their new home. Another positive is that as of Tuesday Morning, about 3am, I bought a 2nd fursuit (not of my sona, but of a friends, whom I wanted this suit to go to a great home). The suit should arrive Friday to when I will likely post a #fursuitfriday on Twitter when I get it out and put it on. I have not decided yet. I will also consider the other suit they may eventually sell off as well. I will need to save up, but I know that I can give the suit(s) a good home. Thanks to  Wildmark for holding my other suit, which he kindly sold to me as well. *hugs*

It is all up from here.

Thanks to all that read this long journal. I will talk to you all soon!

TL;DR people, Thanks for reading over so quickly.
